They finally arrived after almost 5 months.  
   As soon as they were in my hands I had the tires mounted and balanced. 
   As expected with putting on custom parts on top of other custom, need to be customized.  first issue I wasn’t expecting was the front wheel rubbing on the caliper.  After trying out different thicknesses of spacers I ended up using a ½” spacer.  The studs were too short so I had to get longer studs.  After a few hours the fronts are done.   On to the rear where I knew I’d have fitment issues.  firs off I had to smash the exhaust in, second was the seatbelt hump.  They fit but it’s real tight. 

   After the fiddling around I finally got to sit back and really look at it.  I wish I didn’t have to use the spacers, the wheels front and rear are pushed out a little too far for my taste.  I’ll run it the way it is for now and see how it goes, it might grow on me.  

  It looks like I might have to mess with my height adjustment a little as well
